Girl Russian agreed to call, pouring heart out (6)

I believe the answer is:

daphne

'girl' is the definition.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for daphne that I've seen before include "Shewd, sharp" , "nymph can be seen" , "Greek nymph and ornamental shrub" , "Bay" , "Small shrub, fem. name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
